SUPERHEATER FOR O'I L BURNERS.

- Application filed November 27, 1923. Serial No. 677,241.

I '0 all whom it may] concern: Be it known that 'IfCirAiiLns B. MEADOWS,

a citizen of the United States, residing at Houston, in the county of Harris and State 3 of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Superheater for Oil Burners, of'which the following is a specification.

" ,Thisfinvention relates to new and useful improvements in a'heater for oil burners.

'Oneobject of the invention is to provide a heater incombination with an oil burner, whereby the fuel will be heated by the steam before its delivery to the burner, and the steam, by means of which the fuel is sprayed into the combustion chamber, will also be superheated in the combustion chamber be fore it passes through the burner to eject the oil.

Another object of the invention is to prov-ide a device of the characters described which is of very simple construction,'-wl1ich may be cheaply manufactured, and which will conduce to an eifective vaporization of the fuel, and consequently a more perfect combustion thereof;

With the above and other objects in view, this invention has particular relation to certain novel-features of construction, operation, and arrangement of parts,-an example of which is given in this specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein} r Figure #1 shows a plan view of the device as applied to the combustion chamber.

Figure 2 shows a front elevation thereof,

way; These pipes pass through front wall of the-furnace and are anchored therein and anchor the burner-in place. 7

The numeral 6 designates the heater shell, or jacket, and spaced within this jacket there is a similarly shaped oil container 7. At one end the shell and jacket are closed and they are connected by a tubular bridge 8 into which the outer end of the oil pipe is connected. The other ends of the jacket 6 and container 7, are closed by the removable end plate9, thus forming an enclosed oil chamber 10' within the container and a surrounding annular enclosed steanr chamber 11 around said container. An oil supply line 12 enters said oil chamber'through said end plate. The outer end of the steam pipe 5 is connected through the jacket wallinto said steam chamber 11, and asteam supply line 13 enters said steam chamber, and delivers hot steam thereto. I 7

It is to be noted that the steam line 5 passes from the shell 6 through the front wall of the furnace and is formed into a loop 14 in the combustion chamber above the burner, and then passes out again through the front wallof the furnace, and is turned inwardly through said wall be fore entering the burner.

The hot steam in the chamber 11 heats i the fuel in the chamber 10 so that it will be delivered to the burner, throughthe pipe 4 in a fluent, and partly vaporous state and the steam passing through the coil 14 will be superheated 7 before wit passes through the burner, and will eject'the fuel from the burner into the combustion chamber and further vaporize it, thus rendering the fuel i completely combustible so that it will all be consumed.
